Immigration to Vermont.

While every locality, north, south
east and west is "bOOming itself" as
the very best place of all to settle in,
Vermont seems never to think of adj
vertising her merits as an agricultural
state. Yet she is second to very few in
the Union in the quality of her soil, the
salubrity of her climate, and her near
ness to the best markets. All she
lacks is cheaper transportation, and
that she is in the way of getting. We
have to thank the grange for that, and
now, having started this good work, it
must and will be pushed on to a COM
plete success. Meantime, why cannot
the grange do something to advertise
Vermont abroad Her farms are good
and very cheap, and under skilled
hands with efficient capital, they can
be worked proftably, even under
present disadvantages. English farm
ers seem even more anxious to emil
CRATE than the most restless of Yam
KEGS. Let the grange advertise our
and our cheap farms for
sale, in the English agricultural jour
nails. Many frst-class farms are for
sale in Vermont at hardly more than a
years rental of no better farms in
Here are no church rates,
few paupers, light taxes. Why not
spend little money in making the
facts known to our British brethren

leaders it had had, it was indeed with
feeling of sadness that she saw it
was her duty to come out from it and
give her support to the party that
stood out against the saloon and for
the home.
1t is said that not even Mrs. Liver
mOre's most intimate friends knew of
her determination to take the position
that she did Wednesday evening. To
friend only a few days before she
wrote that she had prepared nothing,
and did not know what she should
talk about. Her friends say that she
never spoke with more eloquence and
dramatic force than on this occasion.
Her remarks were naturally the theme
of conversation in all temperance cir
Giles yesterday, and they were referred
to by many on the street.
The third party people are naturally
very jubilant over Mrs. LivermOre's
speech, as they recognize her great
ability and the tremendous influence
she exerts. The temperance republic
cans say nothing; it is whispered that
many of their number, some of whom
are speakers of ability and influence,
are on the verge of taking the same
stem.

A Vermont Woman's Fortune.

After a trial of fourteen days before
Judge Lawrence of the New York su-
preme court, in May last, a jury de-
clared that Mrs. Mary Maud Watson, a
grand daughter of the late John An
derson, the millionaire tObaccOnist,
and wife of Alfred E. Watson of Hart
ford, clerk of the Vermont railroad
commission was entitled to a One-fifth
undivided interest in the twelve lots
on the southwest corner of Fifth ave-
nue. and Forty ninth street, on which
the Plaza hotel is being erected. The
Plaza lots and buildings were valued
at 81 100000, and Mrs. WatsOn's share
under the verdict was 81 100000,
whereas the income of $4,000 was all
that was left to her by her GRANDPA
theirs will. After all, however, the
victory was Swallowed with doubt and
has resulted in compromise. Mrs.
Watson has just settled her claim for
$4,000, and her acceptance of this
amount and her release of all further
claim upon the estate left by Mr. An
derson have just been filed in the reg
ister's office.
There are many theories in explana-
ton of Mrs. Watson's acceptance of
$4,000. In the first trial to sustain
her claim to share in the Fifth ave-
nue. property Mrs. Watson was de-
feated. On the retrial she won her
case, but the goal of final victory was
still shadowy, for an appeal had been
taken from the verdict to the supreme
court, general term. There was grave
uncertainty as to the judgment of this
tribunal, and then beyond was the
court of appeals. To continue the con-
test Mrs. Watson was poorly equipped
with the sinews of legal warfare, while
the other side had millions at its back.
The terms of settlement were arranged
at conference held some days since
at White River Junction, Mrs. Watson,
her husband, Alfred E. Watson, ex-
Gov. Pingree of Vermont and ex-Judge
George NJ. Curtis, counsel for Mrs.
Watson, were the parties Oh one side
of this conference. Mr.. John Charles
Anderson, in whose interest as princi
pal legatee under his father, John An
dersOn's will, the settlement was
sought to be made, was represented by
Messrs. North 81 Wagstaff, his counsel.
The result was that Mrs. Watson sign
ed release in full of all demands,
pocketed $4,000 and returned to her
Vermont home.

Pin-Holes in Stock Certificates.
Chieaoo Herald.

Chtcd9o Herald.
One would not suppose that few
pln-holes in the upper right-hand cor
ner of a piece of paper would be a mat
ter to be troubled over yet in a brok.
er's office the other day rich man
was storming around, because when a
certificate of city railway stock left for
margins was returned to him he dis
covered two of the fatal, ineradicable
things in the upper right-hand corner.
'Didn't l tell yOu," he said excitedly,
eff you used that certificate at your
bank, not to have any pin-holes made
in it," Then he lifted the precious pa
per up between his eyes and the light,
and as the rays shot through the mi
mute but tell-tale punctures he raved
and tore round again. Pin-hOles in
the upper right-hand corner of news
paper wouldn't mean anything. In
that part of a certificate of stock they
mean that it has been "spOuted" at the
bank. Several pin-hOles mean that it
has been hypothetical several times
for cash. If this story-telling right
hand corner is punctured all over and
thumbed and creased it is proof posi-
tive that the holder is specializing all
the time and that his banker is kept
busy advancing money his property
and pinning memoranda of loans to the
customers stock certificates. When
John r. AOxie was running his deal in
Missouri, Kansas and Texas, through
Nat JOnes's and E. X. Wizards offices,
he held at one time 10000 shares of
that wild cat security, on which neith-
er Willard nor Jones could borrow a
dollar, either at the banks at New
York or here. That took 81 100000 in
good money. So as to secure his brok-
ers, twhose credit was being used, HOx-
lie deposited with them 100000 of
Chicago city railway certificates. "1f
you've got to use them things" said
HOxie solemnly, 81 want you to swear
that you won't allow them bankers to
put any pin holes in them certificates"
Uncle John r. was up to snuff and
didn't want the First national bank
people to know that he'd gone crazy
on Wall street speculatiOns. He knew
Lyman Gage would smell rat if he
laid eyes on those city railway shares
and saw pin-holes in corner of one of
them.

take, and send all empty powder
TASKS to her for replenishing.
Thus all morning, she stood giving
out the deadly stuff until not one grain
I remained, and not till then did one
qualm or question come to her.
Before the dinner hour, for which
DIR. Gray had thought he should be toe
late, the painting bay, in a state OF
great perplexity of mind as to why his
usual stately jog had been disturbed,
brought him home again and the doc
tor himself flushed and breathless en-
tered the house.
Then suddenly, the full responsible
ty of her deed flashed upon RATHER
inc, but she was too staunch of pur-
pose to finch, indeed, as she stood be-
fore her father, the same glow of ex-
element in her whole attitude, she
was not an unfit representative of "the
spirit of '76."
Her father read in her face that she
already knew of the stirring event
that was passing, and simply said,
"YOu have heard, Kitty, and you know
that the kings forces have defeated the
rebels 2"
"No father, had not heard that,
and | am sorry. | heard that the min
ute men were out of powder, and
would have to retreat and l have done
something at which, l fear, you will be
angry"
"What, Kitty, you have not given
-9n
eyes, father, sent all your powder
to fill the empty TASKS of the patriots.
l never thought at all, it seemed the
only thing to do, and"
For moment DR.. Gray's eyes flash
ed fire themselves, and the Indignant
blood mounted to his temples he even
began to utter words of upbraiding,
but the pale, firm face turned up to his,
half sorry, half triumphant, was that
of the child who had given her youth
to comfort and console him, and had
never differed from him in aught else,
beside the strange leaning to this new
madness of rebellion which had seized
upon so many of his friends and neigh
bors. The good doctor was grieved
and vexed enough, to have his favOrite
child introduce the monster heresy in
to his own household; but he was
both loving and a just man and
grievous as was the struggle within
him, he kissed her fondly as he said,-
''Kitty, Kitty, you are traitor to king
and father too, but heaven bless you,
child"
In after years, when her father sat
peacefully at her ireside. rejoicing in
the blessings of freedom, though never
admitting their cause, Mrs. John Sher-
man told this story to her children,
and their grandfather shook his gray
hairs and said, eyes, children, all my
powder went to Bunker Hill, but it
was burned on the wrong side, for your
mother was as great a rebel as any in
the land"

Mans Confidence in Man.
N. Y. Journal of CONNER


The business of the world would be
blocked at every point but for mans
confidence in his fellOw-man. And such
confidence is justified by human expe-
rience. Bank tellers are honest, the
rogues are the few exceptions. Trust
companies and savings banks are safe
repositories, the failures are few and
confined chiefly to a class of institu-
tons that from the start had no right
to live. The great body of dealers are
Onest with each other; more than 95
per cent. of the entire trade of great
city is done by mere trust in the word
of another, and without any legal
voucher of evidence. The defalcations
and rOgueries are not the rule of com
mercial life, and however great the
percentage in some cases may seem to
be, there is no way of doing business
but by taking the risk. There is not
a dollar in the world but is trusted at
some time to somebody who might
make away with it. And the trust in
the man is vindicated by the result.

Good for Vermont as Well as Connects
Burlington Free Pres,

There is a law in Connecticut con-
corning grade crossings of railways,
requiring a certain percentage of them
to be removed every year and no new
ones built, and leaving the crossings
to be changed to be designated by the
railroad commissioners. In this way,
in few years, all the grade crossings
must go. What is good for Connect
cut is good for Vermont and the other
states. In view of the continued acct
dents for which the grade crossing is
responsible the Connecticut law would
seem to be worth copying.
